Case Study: Dropbox expands its talent pool and hires faster with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Dropbox expands talent pool to make a hire they otherwise wouldn’t have found with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Dropbox, a SaaS company with 1,000-5,000 employees, faced a challenge in sourcing a high volume of qualified inbound candidates for its sales team. The company wanted to expand its talent search beyond active job seekers to find top performers who were open to new opportunities but not actively looking, a demographic often missed by traditional sourcing methods. To address this, they turned to the vendor LinkedIn Talent Solutions.

Using LinkedIn Talent Solutions' features like Apply Starters and Open Candidates, Dropbox was able to efficiently identify and reach out to this promising talent pool. This approach allowed them to connect with and ultimately hire a candidate who had shown interest but did not complete a formal application. The solution saved the recruiting team valuable time, widened their funnel of inbound candidates, and resulted in a seamless onboarding process and a phenomenal hire, reinforcing their virtuous cycle of attracting top talent who contribute positively to their culture.
